1099 Software

FAQs

This 1099 software from Patriot Software gives small business owners a fast, efficient way to handle payments to contractors, as well as other vendors receiving an annual 1099 form.

How does your 1099 software work?

With Freedom 1099 software, you can pay contractors and pay vendors in three simple steps: just enter the payment, verify the amount, and print the check on 8 ½ x 11” pre-printed check stock. Or, you can handwrite checks and print pay stubs for vendors. The Freedom 1099 software keeps a record of all payments made, and makes it easy to print out required 1099-MISC and 1096 forms on IRS preprinted forms. Freedom 1099 helps you comply with federal recordkeeping rules for payments to 1099-MISC contractors, as well as other rent, royalty, and attorney payments.

Why do I need to keep track of contractor payments?

The Internal Revenue Service requires that businesses keep track of how much they pay contractors annually and requires small businesses to issue 1099 and 1096 forms. Freedom 1099 helps you track how much you paid, and to whom.

What is a 1099-MISC form?

The 1099-MISC form is required by the Internal Revenue Service for reporting annual payments to an independent contractor (non-employee), consultants, investors, etc. You can use Freedom 1099 to print these 1099 forms.

What is a 1096 form?

Form 1096 is the Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns. On this form, you will transmit the vendor 1099 forms to the IRS. It’s easy to print this 1096 form with Freedom 1099!

What should I do with the 1099 and 1096 forms after they are generated?

Distribute any 1099 forms directly to the contractors or other vendors. Send the 1096 form along with Copy A of all 1099s to the Internal Revenue Service. Obviously, your forms need to be accurate, which is why you need Freedom 1099.

What will a contractor do with the 1099 form that I give them?

The contractor will include the 1099 with their annual tax returns.
